CLEVELAND -- Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss Monday night's game against the unbeaten Cleveland Cavaliers with a strained adductor muscle, another early season hiccup for the struggling Bucks.

Coach Doc Rivers said Antetokounmpo went through morning shootaround before the team decided to give him the night off. Rivers said he was already opting to sit the two-time NBA MVP before the medical staff gave its opinion.

Rivers said isn't sure when Milwaukee's best player got hurt. He noted that Antetokounmpo hates to miss any games, and especially with the Bucks off to a shaky start. Milwaukee has lost five straight.

"I had decided in my own mind that he shouldn't play tonight right when they told me he that he was sore (Saturday)," Rivers said. "I was happy when they said -- not happy because you want him to play -- but for his health I think it's the right thing."

Antetokounmpo is averaging 31 points for the Bucks, who are just 1-5 and lost by one point at home to the Cavs on Saturday.

By sitting out, Antetokounmpo will have four days to rest before the Bucks host Utah on Thursday.

The eight-time All-Star had 34 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists against Cleveland, which got a jumper from guard Donovan Mitchell in the final second for a 114-113 win to improve to 7-0 this season.

The Cavs' best start was 8-0 in 1976. They'll be without starter Dean Wade (illness) and top reserve Caris LeVert (knee).

Antetokounmpo averaged 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists last season.

The Bucks are also without small forward Khris Middleton, who hasn't played this season after undergoing ankle surgery.

Thirteen free agents received qualifying offers from their former teams Monday before free agency officially began at 5 p.m. E.T., sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. Among those tendered the offer, which is a one-year, $21.05 million contract for the 2025 season:

• New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto

• Baltimore Orioles right-hander Corbin Burnes

• Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman

• Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried

• Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames

• New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso

• Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander

• Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez

• Boston Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta

• Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker

• Mets left-hander Sean Manaea

• Mets right-hander Luis Severino

• Cincinnati Reds right-hander Nick Martinez

The players have until 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 19 to decide whether to accept the offer, which is calculated annually based on the mean average annual value of Major League Baseball's 125 biggest contracts.

The most sought-after free agents have historically rejected the proposal to enter free agency in search of a multiyear contract. Just 13 of 131 players have accepted a qualifying offer since it was introduced following the 2012 season. Last year, all seven players presented the deal, valued at $20.325 million, turned it down.

Clubs can give a player a qualifying offer only if the player was with the team continuously from opening day and has never received a qualifying offer before.

Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler, San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar, and Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres were among the free agents not extended the qualifying offer.

Teams that lose a player who received a qualifying offer receive a compensation pick. Clubs that sign players who rejected the qualifying offer before the amateur draft the following year must surrender draft compensation and could also lose international bonus pool money. The possible penalties have not affected top-tier free agents' earning potential, but they have hampered the market for midtier players.

Teams that surpassed the competitive balance tax line in 2024 and sign a player tied to a qualifying offer stand to lose their second- and fifth-highest picks in the upcoming amateur draft. They also lose $1 million from their international bonus pool. Revenue-sharing organizations lose their third-highest draft selection. The others lose their second-highest draft pick and $500,000 from their international bonus pool.

No. 1 overall draft pick Macklin Celebrini, who hasn't played since sustaining a lower-body injury in his NHL debut, plans to take the ice with the San Jose Sharks in Tuesday's home game against Columbus.

The 18-year-old forward tallied a goal and an assist in the Oct. 10 season opener against the St. Louis Blues but missed practice the following day while being evaluated for an injury.

He was placed on injured reserve Oct. 12 and returned to team activities on Halloween.

Celebrini took contact during Monday's practice and centered the Sharks' top line.

San Jose has a 3-8-2 record in Celebrini's absence but the Sharks rattled off those three wins in three consecutive games last week.

Celebrini claimed the 2023-24 Hobey Baker Award during his one-year stint at Boston University, where he helped the Terriers reach the NCAA Frozen Four and finished with 64 points (32 goals, 32 assists) in 38 games.

Chilean authorities said Monday they are investigating an alleged sexual assault case involving players at soccer club Colo Colo, including former international Arturo Vidal.

A prosecutor's office in Santiago said the alleged incident took place at a bar in the upscale Vitacura neighborhood in the Chilean capital. It also added that a woman alleged her sister was drugged and sexually attacked by Colo Colo players.

A local police officer told journalists that Vidal, 37, was taken to a Vitacura police station, where he went through "an investigative identity check." That is a standard procedure for suspects of crimes.

Vidal, who was released after the check, did not comment on the incident.

Police also said other players went through similar procedures and have testified about the incident.

Also on Monday, a Santiago court released another former Chile international.

Jorge Valdivia was arrested on Oct. 22 amid a rape investigation. The 41-year-old Valdiva was accused of raping a woman two days before.

Valdivia denied any wrongdoing.

Neymar made his second appearance for Al Hilal as he continues his return following a year-long absence due to an ACL tear, but it didn't last long.

The Brazil international came on in the 58th minute of his team's 3-0 win in an Asian Champions League Elite match on Monday, but was subbed off less than 30 minutes later after going to ground and grabbing the back of his right leg having seemed to pull up while stretching his leg out for the ball in the penalty area.

Aleksandar Mitrovic scored a hat trick to lead Al Hilal to the win and put them at the top of the league phase table of the Asian Champions League

Neymar saw his first action for Al Hilal, who he joined in 2023 from Paris Saint-Germain, on Oct. 21, but hadn't played again until Wednesday's game against Esteghlal as he cannot be registered for Saudi Pro League games until January.

Al Hilal had planned a slow return for Brazil's all-time leading scorer, who suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury during Brazil's qualifier against Uruguay shortly after joining the Saudi side and underwent surgery last November.

Neymar was also left off Brazil's latest squad for a pair of November World Cup qualifiers, with coach Dorival saying the team and federation didn't want to rush his return to the national team.

Brazil are fourth in their World Cup qualifying group, four points adrift of leaders Argentina after 10 games.

Oregon wide receiver Tez Johnson's shoulder injury is not a season-ender and he is expected to return to action at some point this year, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Johnson exited No. 1 Oregon's 38-17 win over Michigan in Ann Arbor Saturday and did not return to the game. The fifth-year senior reappeared on the sidelines in the first half wearing street clothes and sporting a sling on his right arm. He finished with only one catch for 11 yards.

CLEVELAND -- Guardians All-Star and postseason star David Fry had reconstructive surgery on his right elbow and is expected to need at least six months of rehab and recovery before he can hit for the defending AL Central champions.

The team said Monday that Fry, an invaluable utility player, underwent surgery on Oct. 30 in Dallas. Fry was unable to catch or play in the field for the final few months this season because of pain in his elbow.

The Guardians expect Fry will need 6 to 8 months before he can be their designated hitter. It will be up to a year of recovery before he plays in the field.

The 28-year-old Fry batted .263 with 14 homers and 51 RBIs this season.

He was clutch in the playoffs, hitting a go-ahead homer in Game 4 against the Detroit Tigers as the Guardians rallied to win the AL Division Series, and connecting for a walk-off, two-run homer in the 10th inning to beat the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the ALCS.

The Guardians had several other roster moves. Outfielder Myles Straw accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Columbus. Also, reliever James Karinchak was activated from the 60-day injured list, outrighted and has been granted free agency.

The team also activated left-hander Sam Hentges and right-hander Trevor Stephan from the 60-day injured list.

Right-hander Gerrit Cole decided Monday to remain with the New York Yankees on the four-year, $144 million contract he opted out of Saturday, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Originally, the only way Cole would remain a Yankee without reaching free agency was if the club voided his opt-out with a one-year, $36 million extension to his contract, making it a five-year, $180 million deal. The Yankees declined to do so, however, but came to an agreement for Cole to remain in New York anyway, as if he had not triggered the opt-out in the first place.

The two sides had until Monday at 5 p.m. ET to come to an agreement. Discussions on a potential contract extension will continue.

A six-time All-Star, 34-year-old Cole fulfilled his boyhood dream of joining the Yankees before the COVID-shortened 2020 season on what was, at the time, the largest contract ever given to a pitcher: nine years, $324 million. He became the workhouse ace New York envisioned, posting a 3.08 ERA in 108 starts over the next four seasons, and peaked in 2023, when he went 15-4 with a 2.63 ERA across 209 innings in 33 starts to win his first Cy Young Award. A repeat performance, however, was doomed from the start.

Cole was shut down in mid-March with nerve irritation and edema in his throwing elbow. He avoided surgery but began the season on the injured list. He made three rehab starts before making his season debut June 19 against the Baltimore Orioles. Initially not built up to his usual pitch count, Cole didn't record an out in the sixth inning in his first four outings.

But the Yankees' measured plan for Cole paid dividends. The right-hander ultimately logged at least six innings in eight of his 17 starts, posting a 3.41 ERA across 95 innings. He had his occasional blow-up -- he surrendered 11 runs in two starts against the Boston Red Sox and 12 runs to the New York Mets in two outings -- but was otherwise stingy, allowing two or fewer runs in 10 of his starts. He delivered his best performance in Oakland, holding the A's to one run over nine innings Sept. 20.

Cole added another five starts in the postseason, pitching to a 2.17 ERA over 29 innings. He limited the Kansas City Royals to one run in seven innings in the Yankees' American League Division Series-clinching Game 4 win. The Dodgers mustered just one run in six innings against him in Game 1 of the World Series, although the Yankees lost in extra innings.

His final start of the season, however, will haunt the Yankees: After four hitless innings, three Yankees defensive miscues in the fifth -- including Cole not covering first base on a routine groundball to first baseman Anthony Rizzo with two outs -- allowed the Dodgers to tie the score with five unearned runs in their eventual 7-6 win.

The Pittsburgh Pirates drafted Cole with the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft out of UCLA. He made his major league debut in 2013 and made one All-Star team for Pittsburgh. It wasn't until he was traded to the Houston Astros after the 2017 season that he became a consistent ace, recording two 200-plus-inning seasons with a 2.68 ERA before hitting free agency and signing with the Yankees in December 2019.

"He gave me some of the greatest memories of my rugby career - that came at a price.

"Maybe it had to be that way to get the success that we had. Maybe you have to go through some really tough times, and be that driven, and there be that much pressure, to get that.

"But I dont think that can last forever, there is a timeline in that and it came to a period where it was too much for us as players and you saw a bit of a downward spiral."

Jones won his first 17 games in charge of England, but was sacked in December 2022 after only five victories from 12 matches in his final year in charge.

He ended with a 73% win percentage, better than Rugby World Cup-winning coach Sir Clive Woodward.

Jones denied being overbearing during his time with England in an interview with the Times in June, although admitted he may have been in previous roles., external

"Players just aren't pushed hard enough to become their best," Jones added at the time. "Not because of where they come from, but because of the environment they're in.

"In England, there is the comfortability of the clubs; they can survive at the clubs just being a player and they're not pushed to go to the next level."

Care also claimed that Saracens playmaker Alex Goode, who won only four caps under Jones, was exiled from the England set-up after a disagreement with the coach.

"We saw Alex Goode, European player of the year, come in and have a slight disagreement between him, the physios and Eddie, a slight miscommunication and he was never seen again," added Care.

"It was crazy. And the players see that.

"Eddie was so unbelievably powerful, he could define your career - you could get one cap, say the wrong thing and never be seen again."

Jones is now head coach of Japan, who play England on 24 November.
